Euro Looks for Weekly Gain in Forex Trading

Currency trading with EUR/USD

The euro is heading for a weekly gain in forex trading on the currency market. Unless something dramatic happens tomorrow, the euro will likely end on a much higher note, following a week-long rally.

Euro is getting plenty of support right now as the Greek austerity measures become finalized. Additionally, there is some hope that some sort of process for funding can be arranged for other euro zone countries dealing with possible financial failure.

Also helping the euro in forex trading is the fact that many expect the ECB to raise interest rates next week. Contrasted with the U.S. dollar, whose rate is likely to remain near 0% for a while, the euro looks like a good bet.
